There is a growing awareness that trauma is pervasive and that the impact of trauma is often deep and life shaping. Trauma and toxic stress are often at the center of a person's mental health challenges, substance use, physical health issues and/or involvement with the justice system. This means, whether or not it is fully recognized, staff at our school districts are working with survivors of trauma.

Creating a trauma-informed system requires not only understanding the impact of trauma, but implementing changes in the service delivery that align with the five core principles of trauma-centered safety: safety, trust, choice, collaboration and empowerment.

This training aims to support staff by increasing their knowledge and capacity around the essential elements of a trauma-informed system and how that understanding can be applied to their daily practice and organizational culture.

Day 1: Grief and Loss; Trauma
Day 2: Chronic Illness; Suicide Assessment
Day 3: Threat Assessment Management; Infrastructure Development and Implementation

Days 4 & 5: Group Crisis Response Skills (Critical Incident Stress Management)
You must register by August 16, 2025

1) Define function-based thinking.
2) Identify opportunities to integrate function-based thinking and strategies across the tiers (Tier 1 with all students; Tier 2 in targeted skills groups; Tier 3 through the use of the behavior pathway).
3) Articulate the benefits for student learning and overall success.

Workshop Highlights:

• Learn Genially: Participants will start by learning how to use the Genially program, gaining the skills needed to create dynamic and interactive games.

• Step-by-Step Game Design: The game design process will be divided into specific tasks, allowing participants to focus on one aspect at a time. Once a task is completed, the next part of the process will be provided.

• Toward the End: Participants will share their drafted games for feedback and game iterations, refining their creations based on constructive input.

• Templates Provided: Participants will receive templates of all the created games, offering a valuable resource for future projects.

Join Staff Development Trainer, Melissa Reeves, in this workshop where participants will learn about fostering accountability, empathy, and reconciliation, while creating a foundation for positive relationships and a stronger school culture.

In addition to registering for this course, we are also asking all participants to complete this form: WFL MBSR Application

Prevent escalation before it occurs
Recognize and respond to student needs
Explore the importance of the developmental relationship
Address students in ways that promote healing and belonging

During the session, we will engage in a series of math experiences purposefully sequenced to see and feel the vertical alignment of the math standards that support proportional reasoning. Opportunities will be designed to deepen current understanding of the content and processes that educators are seeking to develop in their students. All experiences will reflect the NYS Next Generation Learning Standards for Mathematics and demonstrate how all students are expected to develop both conceptual and procedural knowledge related to proportional reasoning.

TCIS helps participants and schools to:

◉ Create a trauma-sensitive environment where students and adults are safe and feel safe within their roles as a staff member
◉ Pro-actively prevent and/or deescalate potential crisis situations with the students they work with
◉ Manage a crisis situation in a therapeutic manner, and, if necessary, intervene physically in a manner that reduces the risk of harm to students and staff
◉ Process the crisis event with students and each other to help improve their coping strategies to reduce future risk

*District teams are encouraged to attend together, but this is not required.*

What we will cover:

1. Best Practices for Sharing Documents: Learn how to share documents securely and efficiently using OneDrive.
2. Leveraging SharePoint: Discover how to use SharePoint for robust team collaboration and project management.

Each participant will get a copy of the book.

*NOTE - In the morning, there is always a whole group content session followed up by two rounds of targeted breakout sessions anchored in the MTSS-i Framework and TFI. After lunch teams then have team time to process the learning and work on their TFI Action Plan.

Come together for powerful networking, an inspiring panel discussion, and a fast-paced Ignite Session featuring local professional women, coaches, sponsors, and champions of female leaders.

Let's celebrate, connect, and empower the next generation of leadership - together!

This year's theme is: "Depolarizing Our Classrooms:Strategies For Civil Engagement” Additional content/conceptual priorities to be integrated with this theme include:

1) causes and consequences of affective and social polarization in classrooms, schools, and society;
2) how "epistemic bubbles,” power dynamics, and other factors limit listening, dialogue, understanding across differences, and open classroom climates;
3) cross-disciplinary learning activities and teaching practices, focused on depolarization and reducing incivility without chilling free speech, that help teachers address current local, national, and global issues.
Facilitators: Dr. Kevin Meuwissen, Rhiannon White, and Amy Stell - Warner School of Education, University of Rochester; and Blake Embury - Wayne-Finger Lakes BOCES

*NOTE - The links and full agendas for the sessions will be sent out two weeks prior to the session.

On October 17th we will begin with a math task, discuss the 2025 Regents exam, talk about the changes to our standards, new practices, teaching methods, and goals for the roundtable.  During the first roundtable we will discuss the agendas and what topics we want to discuss during the second and third roundtable.

All meetings will be at Pal-Mac high school from 8:30 - 11 am and breakfast will be provided.

Throughout the series, Coaches will engage with three major state initiatives:Literacy, Numeracy, and the Portrait of a Graduate. Using an inquiry-based approach, we will explore how coaching models and systems of support can strengthen these initiatives in classrooms.

The series will emphasize collaborative learning and reflective practice. Coaches will be encouraged to share successes and challenges in a safe, supportive environment. Above all, this series will remain responsive to participant needs, adapting over time to ensure the most meaningful and relevant professional growth opportunities.

**Note: Participants will complete approximately 2 hours of asynchronous work between sessions.

Morning Beverages and Lunch will be provided.
